Resolution

WHEREAS, in accordance with RCW Chapter 39.34, including specifically RCW 39.34.030(5), New York and Lewis County have entered into a cooperative governmental purchasing agreement for various equipment and supplies using competitively awarded contracts with the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, in furtherance of ensuring security at the Lewis County Jail, the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office/Jail has determined that there is a need to purchase a body scanner which will increase the safety and security of the Lewis County Jail and thereby reveal contraband/weapons which may be concealed within an inmate’s anatomy; and

WHEREAS, the requirements set forth in RCW 39.34.030(5)(b) are satisfied as the State of New York has: (i) awarded the bid, proposal, or contract in compliance with its own statutory requirements, and (ii) has posted the bid or solicitation notice on its web site; and

WHEREAS, the Sheriff’s Office has reviewed New York’s HIRE procurement process for the Smith B-Scan, a body scanning system, from Command Sourcing, Inc. and found the terms thereof to be in the best interest of Lewis County; and

WHEREAS, the request for the Smith Detection B-Scan purchase was reviewed and approved by the County Capital Facilities Committee and the committee’s recommendation was presented to the Board of County Commissioners.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners approves the purchase of the Smith Detection B-Scan, a body scanning system, from Command Sourcing Inc. at a cost of $165,000.00, and authorizes the Sheriff’s Office to execute the agreement for said purchase.
